the difference was, when the democrats lost in 1994, bill and hillary clinton brought in dick morris and they said, you know, if we don't learn something from this experience we will be beat in '96. i thought that parts of the clinton speech were eerily anti-obama. if you listen to the sub text. and he said, i worked with welfare because i worked with the republicans, but you didn't president obama. i had the longest growth in history, and you didn't, mr. obama. you can take the speech and spin it not much and it is a condemnation of the fact that obama learned nothing. bob woodward's new book indicates that he learned nothing out of the 2010 election. >> can bill clinton move votes for president obama? >> well, he can temporarily move votes. i would say that the bounce that obama is getting coming out of the convention is 80% bill clinton. he is a popular figure for a practical reason, the economy worked. people had jobs. we reduced children in poverty by 25% through the welfare reform and balanced the budget for four years and you look back and say, i think that what it does is shr

one of the things i look at those pictures of dick morris, and i think, boy, what a difference a decade can make. he's now prominent on fox news channel, very critical of democrats. and i'm very curious about the inner workings of the white house staff at this time and how they were trying to come to grips to cope with this news. >> i think it's safe to say now they were all caught off guard. you look at the day the scandal broke, perhaps the day after, secretary of state madeleine albright at the time saying, essentially, i believe the allegations are false. the rest of the cabinet essentially saying, i second that. perhaps most interesting -- and many people don't know this -- was the day after president clinton was forced to answer questions from independent counsel ken starr and his speech to america admitting the affair. remember this, the clintons were scheduled to leave for their annual summer vacation on martha's vineyard, and the white house staff had no idea how to handle the walk. do you remember this? the first family's very public walk across the white house lawn to the wai
